This site is backed by a PostgreSQL database containing all the man pages.
Weekly dumps of the full database are available for download at
<a href="http://dl.manned.org/dumps/">http://dl.manned.org/dumps/</a>.
<br /><br />
Be warned that the download server may not be terribly reliable, so it is
advisable to use a client that supports resumption of partial downloads. See
<a href="/wget">wget's -c</a> or <a href="/curl">curl's -C</a>.
<br /><br />
The database schema is "documented" at <a
href="https://g.blicky.net/manned.git/tree/sql/schema.sql">schema.sql</a> in
the git repo. Note that these dumps don't constitute a stable API and, while
this won't happen frequently, incompatible schema changes or Postgres major
version bumps may occur.
